I want to create a 12V power supply from the +12 power supply of the computer (1Ampe), can anyone help me to find the right type of product?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks for reading it!

  • Hello Bao, thank you for posting to the forum.

    TI has a section called "TI DESIGNS" that showcases reference designs.
    I searched for -12Vout and a list of negative 12V designs was provided.
     
    This one in particular should fit your needs.

    Will this work for you?
    If not, please look at the other designs provided by search.
